I've seen cheap shots before -- but exploiting this tragedy in this manner is inexcusable.

Bush Motorcade Kills Cop

What -- did the George W. Bush order his motorcade to speed up and run this law enforcement officer off the road? Was Dick Cheney laying down covering fire as they passed th cop?

No. Nothing of the sort.

What happened was that the officer lost control of his bike as the motorcade entered a parking garage, and was fatally injured in the performance of his duty. It was a tragic accident, notable to the national press only because the officer was one of the escorts of the presidential motorcade.

Should this story have been reported? Absolutely.

But is the headline irresponsible and misleading? You bet.

But you know the MSM motto -- never miss a cheap shot at the the President.
